How to Have an Actual Conversation on Omegle

Last Updated: August 16, 2018

The popular website Omegle.com is new and exciting. You simply press Talk on the homepage and you are connected with a stranger from anywhere in the world. But, this has downsides. Many people are 'trolls'--meaning someone who just wants to make up stories to try to freak people out. Follow this guide to try to have a real conversation with someone.

Steps

1
Add the right interests. Omegle allows you to choose interests so you can be matched with people who like similar things. But beware: some interests are more dangerous than others, so proceed at own risk. Religion and other controversial topics are especially prone to extremists, trolls, and people you don't want to meet.
- If you notice there are lots of trolls or bots with a certain interest, remove it and try again after a week.
2
Start your conversation the right way. Saying "ASL" or "I'm horny" isn't a good start. You could say "Hi."or simply "Hello, what's up?"

3
If you want to avoid trolls, make it clear. After introducing yourself, say something like, "I don't want to be rude, but if you are horny, can't speak English, or don't want to actually have a conversation, please disconnect."
4
Learn how to identify trolls and bots. There are key ways to point out people who are trolls. They may say something very random and offensive at the start of the conversation, or simply say "I'm horny". They usually type first, and type often, as well. Bots leave automated messages and are often instant replies that don't relate to the subject.
5
Don't be afraid to disconnect. If the person you are talking to seems to be weird, simply disconnect. Also, if the person starts a conversation by saying "asl" they are most likely looking for someone to have cyber sex with.
6
Have fun on Omegle without talking to trolls. Some people may say something random, so play along. If it is offensive, disconnect, but sometimes the best conversations start the weirdest.
7
Don't be tricked by trolls. They may send you a message saying Omegle has tracked your IP address, or that Omegle has classified them as a sex offender, usually ending with fake contact information. These are all fake, don't be tricked.
8
You will encounter almost every type of person on Omegle. You'll come across the people who seem to be honest, the obvious liars, the trolls, the horny people, the people looking for a laugh, the people who say they are on the verge of suicide, the people who are going through boredom and the normal people. Learn how to handle the people and you can turn almost any conversation into a fun one.

Community Q&A

Question

How do I search for a specific person I want to talk to?

Community Answer

If you are trying to reach a friend on Omegle, you can't operate on chance alone. Arrange a certain time, and a unique keyword. If you're trying to find a friend you have no other form of contact with, then may the odds be ever in your favor.
Question

How do I make small talk?

Community Answer

Ask the other person questions. You can almost always get a conversation going by asking about their pets, school, or anything at all.
Question

Why does everyone disconnect all the time on Omegle?

Community Answer

Awkwardness, not being interested, the person thinking you're a bot, or the conversation immediately turning sexual are among the most common reasons.
